The artwork
In Emerald Current, Maria Ruisi transforms movement, matter and light into a powerful sculptural rhythm.
Hand-shaped three-dimensional reliefs emerge from an intensely deep black background. Their raised surfaces carry luminous emerald-green passages and refined gold acrylic accents, creating a dramatic interplay between shadow, colour and reflected light.
The repeated sculptural forms appear to move across the surface like a current advancing through darkness. Depending on the viewer’s imagination, they may evoke leaves carried by water, mineral fragments, organic structures or flashes of energy travelling towards the light.
Every relief has been individually shaped by hand. No two elements respond to light in exactly the same way. Some surfaces appear dense and architectural, while others seem lighter and almost suspended above the black background.
As the viewer moves around the artwork, the composition changes subtly. Shadows deepen, emerald tones become more intense and gold accents emerge or recede according to the surrounding light and viewing angle. The work therefore offers an evolving visual experience rather than a single fixed image.
The contrast between black, emerald and gold gives the composition a commanding yet refined presence. Black creates depth and silence; emerald introduces vitality, renewal and movement; gold acts as a controlled source of warmth and illumination.
The title Emerald Current expresses this dual character. “Emerald” refers to the precious intensity of the green, while “Current” evokes uninterrupted movement, circulation and energy. Together, they describe a force that travels through darkness without losing its direction.
This entirely handmade work combines painting, relief and sculptural construction. The rigid support and solid hardwood mounting give the piece stability and a strong physical presence, while the substantial depth of the relief allows it to extend beyond the conventional surface of a painting.
The included minimalist white American box frame creates a clean visual separation between the artwork and the surrounding architecture. Its restrained design intensifies the black, emerald and gold composition without competing with it.
This is a unique original artwork, numbered 1/1. It is not a print, edition or reproduction.
About Maria Ruisi
Maria Ruisi, born in Latvia in May 1983, is a contemporary artist, founder artist and PhD engineer recognised for her distinctive mastery of texture, relief composition and the interaction between matter and light.
Her artistic sensitivity developed from early childhood and was later enriched by a rigorous scientific and technical background. This combination has resulted in a rare creative practice in which engineering precision and artistic intuition become inseparable.
Rather than treating the canvas or rigid support as a flat image, Maria Ruisi constructs each work as a physical composition. Relief structures are shaped, positioned and balanced with close attention to tension, weight, repetition, depth and spatial rhythm.
Her advanced techniques combine acrylic painting, sculptural relief and carefully controlled material experimentation. Every raised element is formed by hand, making each composition impossible to reproduce identically.
Light is an essential component of her practice. It travels across the raised surfaces, reveals concealed tonal variations and creates shadows that change according to the time of day, the surrounding environment and the viewer’s position.
For Maria Ruisi, an artwork is not a static decorative object. It is an evolving structure whose visual character continues to transform through its relationship with space and light.
Her works are characterised by strong contemporary compositions, tactile richness, technical precision and a refined balance between power and restraint.

The artwork
In Emerald Current, Maria Ruisi transforms movement, matter and light into a powerful sculptural rhythm.
Hand-shaped three-dimensional reliefs emerge from an intensely deep black background. Their raised surfaces carry luminous emerald-green passages and refined gold acrylic accents, creating a dramatic interplay between shadow, colour and reflected light.
The repeated sculptural forms appear to move across the surface like a current advancing through darkness. Depending on the viewer’s imagination, they may evoke leaves carried by water, mineral fragments, organic structures or flashes of energy travelling towards the light.
Every relief has been individually shaped by hand. No two elements respond to light in exactly the same way. Some surfaces appear dense and architectural, while others seem lighter and almost suspended above the black background.
As the viewer moves around the artwork, the composition changes subtly. Shadows deepen, emerald tones become more intense and gold accents emerge or recede according to the surrounding light and viewing angle. The work therefore offers an evolving visual experience rather than a single fixed image.
The contrast between black, emerald and gold gives the composition a commanding yet refined presence. Black creates depth and silence; emerald introduces vitality, renewal and movement; gold acts as a controlled source of warmth and illumination.
The title Emerald Current expresses this dual character. “Emerald” refers to the precious intensity of the green, while “Current” evokes uninterrupted movement, circulation and energy. Together, they describe a force that travels through darkness without losing its direction.
This entirely handmade work combines painting, relief and sculptural construction. The rigid support and solid hardwood mounting give the piece stability and a strong physical presence, while the substantial depth of the relief allows it to extend beyond the conventional surface of a painting.
The included minimalist white American box frame creates a clean visual separation between the artwork and the surrounding architecture. Its restrained design intensifies the black, emerald and gold composition without competing with it.
This is a unique original artwork, numbered 1/1. It is not a print, edition or reproduction.
